Tracker || Tie Wearer || Tracking/ Matchmoving LeadVikings season #5 started just before my parental leave. I was able to get the Alexa Mini with some new anamorphic lenses as well as our spherical lens set up for the crew to take on this awesome series.

Tracker || Tie Wearer || Tracking/ Matchmoving LeadI was honored to be the Tracking and Layout lead again, on Season #4 of the popular TV series "Vikings". Worked on 202 VFX shots on this staggering heavy VFX show. Oversaw every shot that required a 3D camera. Very fun team to work with on this challenging show. Camera tracking water is no easy task and we took it on may times with great results.

Animator || Tie Wearer || Tracking/ Matchmoving LeadI was the only tracking artist on the Mr X team working at the Technicolour location for this show. I had the pleasure of tracking and doing layout for around 178 shots in the 6 month period. It was nice to break off into a smaller team of around 13-20 artists to take on some fun puzzles. From adding ships and little bots, to animating some holograms and solving some unique cameras. The shots we worked on were mainly shot with an Alexa and Blackmagic. Some of my first quadcopter camera tracks giving very shaky results that we were able to smooth out in Nuke.

Ironman Canada

Tie WearerSwim 3.9K: 1:18:52
Bike 180K: -:--:-- (did 118K of the bike on a fixed gear bike due to my derailleur breaking off in the first 3 minutes, had to stop due to cut off race times)

This is going to be the tie I wear for Ironman Canada. This tie that wins will only be worn once for this race. It will likely be destroyed on the adventure. I leave for British Columbia On Aug 9th so the election will close earlier. I will be unable to take my entire collection with me.

how to tie a tie

Animator || Creator || Tie Wearer || Animation DirectorI gave myself the challenge to create a flash short film within a week. This is the 1st one I created. I was asked far too often how to tie a tie. So I wanted to create a cartoon showing off how to do it. It was my first take for my voice. So I had a lof of fun setting up the lip sync and animating. After creating this I went on to create 2 more shorts.

Bright's Grove, Canada || Olympic Triathlon || August 2004 |

Godridge Triathlon

Tie WearerMy first triathlon.
I wore my tie and shirt in the water which I am sure had me finish 1K around 45:00.
The bike I remember was 45K which was fine until my bike broke (the cranks came off) at around the 25 K mark. I then ran with my bike for 20 K and road it down any hill I could. This then gave me a 30 K run.
Overall time was over 4 hours and I was last.
I finished it thanks to a couple who drove in front of me with a van blasting tunes.
